President Trump, with his 37-percent approval rating and all, is so successful that he would even beat Jesus and the Virgin Mary in 2020—or so says a top surrogate. Appearing Tuesday on the Fox Business Network, Steve Cortes, the former head of Trump’s Hispanic Advisory Council, dismissed a potential Oprah challenge, saying: “If Donald Trump has three more years like the year he just had of amazing successes, he can run against a combined ticket of Jesus and the Virgin Mary and he will still win in 2020.”
